Re: Australian Sniper Kill At 3079 yards Nevermind, I ran it on a few different ballistic models. Actually falls into the FOV on some with a 12mil HO. Doable. Good work you bastards! <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: G-TAC</div><div...

Re: Australian Sniper Kill At 3079 yards Thats because we have a mile of politics between us the right gear. Not to mention, the "gunner" who builds ranges that don't support the capability of future weapon systems. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted...

Re: Australian Sniper Kill At 3079 yards victory nailed it. His mentioned is the only way this is going to happen, by picking an offset aiming point and having a good spotter. Target is out of FOV with that set up. Possible? Sure. We hit the 2500YD target often with this method at...

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE A word about blisters. Saw some gnarly ones one Facebook. Before I went to selection I was turned onto a product called ENGO,http://www.goengo.com/, it's basically a sticker that creates a frictionless surface in an area where you normally get hot...

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE Oral IV is looking for any feedback if anyone used their product during the match.

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE I saw a lot of heart out there. A few guys pushed themselves pretty close to the limit there. I love it when I see people giving it everything that they have. It was definitely an opportunity to learn something about yourself. I've got few ideas...

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE Is a ridge line not a "line feature"? Again, They are set at yellow-orange levels. Green/red/brown/blue are all controls that have the same difficulty in orienteering, just distances vary. That level is expert. We have yellow (advanced...

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE All of the points are set. By my best guess, the competitors are looking at 10k in elevation gain over 30 miles. +- 10% depending on route selection. Most of the land nav points are on major terrain features and set at the yellow level and...

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE I wouldn't use a digital compass as a primary. It should be the other way around. They are highly sensitive to metal objects on your kit.

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE I wish I could shoot it too! I think this this is going to be the most epic match of all time. If you are into this sort of thing of course. As always, TBACTG and Competition Dynamics have really put a ton of effort into the shooting stages...

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE Also we are looking for any 18D's that might be willing to provide medical support. It looks like Armor Works wis going to let us use the Hyena vehicle for medical support.

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE That ranger was not worthy of it's name. It quit an hour into it's patrol. All we asked it to do was climb 6000 vertical feet in 3 miles, carrying a light load. They should have called it the "polaris sailor". Then I would have had a better idea...

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE 3 hours to hit the wall? This is not good my friend. 3 hours is barely scratching the surface on this match. You will need to put out for 10X that time just to finish the race, plus you need to think, shoot, and move. Do some research on...

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE A word on packs. I get alot of questions on what pack to carry for this. My generic answer is "the one that you like the best that holds the gear list". Okay, so here is what I'd really recommend. In my order of preference. 1) Granite Gear...

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE Holy crap there are alot of questions on here. Apologies for being out of touch for awhile, and good job zak for answering them all. I just want to add this, and I'm not trying to sound like an a-hole but if you guys keep trying to read between...

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE You will be able to refill water at some of the CP's.

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE The match will on Sniper Country property, about 90% of which is shown on map. There will be some travel on county dirt roads not depicted on the map. You can use whatever color light you want for the night movement, as long as it doesn't violate...

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE This a link to a 1:25K map of the race area. I highly suggest you purchase one and start your map recon now. We will issue a 1:50k for the race, but you can still bring your own 1:25k if you want.

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE You have 7+ months to prepare. A great new year's resolution for many of us. At least 30 miles (probably a bit longer), there are humans that run 26.2 in about 2 hours. Think about it. What condition do you want to be in when the zombies come...
